Subject: 362 tag in serials bib record

[Ed. Note: This has been cross-posted on SERIALST]

When a serial changes its format from print to purely electronic, should you
close off the publishing dates in the 362 tag ?  We're bringing in another
record for the electronic format, since this title changed formats, but
wondered if we should put a cease publication information of some kind in
the 362 tag for the print record.  Is it considered to have ceased
publication as a print journal?  Or did publication continue on, just in a
different format?

Thanks for any help,
